LAmom Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 What would you use for continued review, practice? I don't like ETC books. Anything else? This would be for a 2nd grader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PentecostalMom Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Reading Pathways? That's what I did. Dd went through it fairly quickly, but it really solidified a lot of things for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffeegal Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Switch from phonics to a good phonetic spelling program. Spelling Workout, Rod and Staff Spelling, All About Spelling, etc. There are many spelling programs to look into. Another alternative is to work through Phonics Pathways again focusing on spelling the words rather than reading. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monica_in_Switzerland Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 We moved on to McGuffey Readers. If you've finished all of Phonics Pathways, or even most of it, you may find you can go right into the second reader. You can get them for free for kindle, or buy the set. Each story is a page or so long, and we read one per day, only repeating if there were lots of stumbles. We are just finishing up the second reader, and they have made a big difference in fluency, vocabulary, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyerin Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I switched our focus to spelling and having them read aloud to me for practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HS Mom in NC Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 The accompanying pyramid books that go with PP if you haven't already then Latin and Greek word roots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoutTN Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 We found Pathway readers to be helpful after PP and before real chapter books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrissySC Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I second Pathway readers. DD is not ready for Elson readers yet, which is my first go-to after Phonics Pathways. However, I am doing Explode the Code with the readers without the workbooks at present. Alternatively, I would have to agree with a poster above, Reading Pathways or phonetice focused spelling. Oh, something like, Websters, LOL (OK, it is my favorite.) Pathway: We love the easy going stories. There are workbooks for them too. I would have used the workbooks if not for how well dd loves the Explode the Code books. They focus on the phonics and words, as well as comprehension. I am using these until such time she becomes more independent with her reading. :) They are a great size too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Targhee Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 We switched over to LOE Essentials, and read, and read, and read Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
